Background Information: Vance underwent the usual training to become a knight, urged on by an overly demanding father who saw it as his duty to turn his only son into something worthwhile. Because of this, for a period of time, Vance was intensely internal and aggressive, seeing everything as a competition and other people as obstacles between him and the top. When he became a squire, though, knights avoided taking him on until he was assigned to a casual, friendly knight who took it upon himself to get the boy to relax.

He succeeded, though many years of effort, and by the time he became a knight at twenty-three he was almost an entirely different person. In Vance’s mind, his knight was the most important man in his life, turning him into something he could be proud of – and that was part of the reason that, when Sylvia became a squire, he agreed to oversee her training, because he knew what it was like to be rejected. He decided to give her a chance, and has since grown attached to her, training her with a single-minded devotion.
